**If you know your Rising Sign, read for that as well!**
ARIES: This week is all about experiences that bring adventure but solidify your foundation at the same time. For example, a job or project that brings more work than you’re used to but allows you to travel places you’ve always wanted to go or a new relationship with someone who’s lifestyle is completely foreign but who’s about to bring you everything you’ve been looking for. Chances are good that these experiences will come completely out of the blue. Make sure you’ve got your head on straight and your ducks lined up, and go with what happens. You’re moving in the right direction.
TAURUS: The New Moon in your opposite sign sets off the theme of Ambition. Where do you have too much and what’s it doing for you? What is it doing against you? Watch for something unexpected that gives you a quick and hard lesson about how you’re looking in all the wrong places for something you don’t even need. This is especially important because Neptune – a planet that’s all about dissolving the worldly and material things we just don’t need – is about to turn direct from a challenging sign. Find the real prize, and keep your eyes right there.
GEMINI: Your Mercury ruler makes the last of this season’s three contacts with imaginative Neptune in a fellow Air sign – look for something you’ve been trying to achieve on a creative level since the Fall began to reach its peak this week. Think back to the last half of September and track the steps that led you to where you are now: chances are you’ve come much farther than you’d realized. Take what you’ve been working on to the people who need to see it, hear it, read it or feel it – the energy is right this week for them to do exactly that.
CANCER: Dedicate yourself to the unseen potential. The New Moon in Scorpio, a fellow Water sign brings new life, new love, new ideas all over the place. Anything you imagine can be tapped this week as long as you’re looking for it. It’s all about where you’re letting your feelings take you – whether that’s down to where everything’s safe or out and about to where there’s adventure to be had. Chances are right now you’re leaning in the second direction, and uncharacteristically looking for results that are completely unexpected.
LEO: Be prepared for an overflow of creativity. Mercury and Neptune have one last dance before Neptune turns Direct in Aquarius, your opposite sign. Neptune represents our imagination and the collective unconscious and that planet’s been traveling backwards since the beginning of the Summer – this could well be part of whatever’s been blocking you. The New Moon in Scorpio colors the next four weeks with its energy: the shadow, the hidden, the taboo. Consider how these themes fit into the project you’re currently working on and you’re liable to find a fresh new direction.
VIRGO: The New Moon in a compatible sign is all about fresh starts and resolutions. Take a minute before Tuesday to think about where and how you’d like to get a new lease on a certain situation. Your Mercury Ruler interacting with Neptune gives your creativity a boost, and Mars making a friendly move toward Saturn in your sign gives your energy a giant push to help you along the way. This is the week, and very likely the month you’ll be able to accomplish whatever you set your mind on.
LIBRA: Use this week’s New Moon energy to take a fresh step into your new routines. Neptune turning Direct in a fellow Air sign means your creativity is working with rather than against you. It’s the right time to put something you’ve been wondering about down on paper for once and for all. You’ve got something to give and the more you can express that this week the more you’ll be rewarded. You’ll be on the receiving end as well but try to offer more than you’re taking or it’s bound to catch up with you later.
SCORPIO: The New Moon in your sign is amping your ambition to a whole new level. This is the perfect week to take the first steps toward where you think you should be. Mars in your sign is giving you an extra push toward seeing an extra level of potential. Creative Scorpios may be feeling blocked this week but that should change over the weekend when Neptune returns to Forward Motion. Concentrate on the business side of things until then, you’ll be glad to have it all taken care of.
SAGITTARIUS: The New Moon in Scorpio coincides with a friendly move from energetic Mars toward your Jupiter ruler. If your energy was scattered, or even nonexistent last week, chances are you’re about to get back the gumption and the focus. Neptune returning to Forward Motion helps dissolve any boundaries you’ve put up for alleged self-preservation. The time is right to take big risks you’ve been considering, especially on a creative level: people are ready to listen.
CAPRICORN: The New Moon in Scorpio, a friendly Water sign, is a fresh time to begin a new chapter or readjust something that’s been needing to change. Right now you have the ability to turn your characteristic discipline into something that brings you big experience – but you have to do the work of looking for where that can best happen. This New Moon highlights the resources that we collectively share and this is in perfect alignment with what you’ve been working toward lately: what is it you do best? And how can that help the rest of us?
AQUARIUS: Your temper might be at odds with what you’re trying to accomplish right now– especially when dealing with authority. The New Moon in challenging Scorpio means any themes that surface are likely to persist for the next month or so. Hold your tongue as best you can and wait until next week before taking any action. Neptune in your sign finally returns to forward motion after a five-month Retrograde, and a repeat push from Mercury, the planet that’s all about communication - means your thought process could be on overdrive. Use any extra energy to build on your ideas and be creative; this is the way to avoid any unnecessary temper tantrums.
PISCES: Neptune, the planet that rules you, returns to Forward motion this weekend, helping to push you in the right direction and Tuesday’s New Moon in Scorpio, a fellow Water sign, brings optimal energy for any kind of fresh start. This is a good time to take responsibility for yourself in all the places you’ve been letting someone else be in charge. It’s not that you can’t handle the details, it’s that you haven’t been able to get them straight. But this week brings you a renewed sense of focus and the ability to see what you need to change and the ways you can do it all for yourself.

Horoscopes for October 20 - 26 2008
**If you know your Rising Sign, read for that too!**
ARIES: You’ve been dealing too much with other people’s problems and not giving yourself enough attention. But the Sun moves out of Libra, your opposite sign midweek and Mercury is soon to follow, bringing an end to most of the drama. The next chapter is all about taking a step back and staying put in a place where you can solidify your intentions about the people you love and trust for sure. Think back two weeks, to when something you’re dealing very much with right now first surfaced. Chances are you’ve uncovered new information that’s enabling you to take care of the situation in a way that’s better off for everybody involved.
TAURUS: The Sun enters Scorpio, your opposite sign, putting your focus more on the outside world for the next four weeks. Mars, the planet that represents aggression, is also hanging out in Scorpio, which could lead to possible confrontation between you and another. Accept what the people around you are throwing your way without fighting too hard against it and you’ll be able to see possibilities in places you’d formerly considered dead ends. But remember: ignoring problems, or doing nothing about them, is just a passive form of fighting against. Now’s the time to be proactive.
GEMINI: What was the big issue for you two weeks ago? Chances are it’s about to pop up all over again, but in a way that’s more solid and understandable than it was before. It’s all about processing your previous experience in a way that helps you make sense out of all the things that are constantly changing. This week’s events bring you confirmation about how much you can trust your intuition. Take some time to really study your perspective. The more you know exactly how you process the world around you, the better you’ll know yourself and this is a tool you can use for a million lifetimes
CANCER: The Sun’s move into a fellow Water sign brings nicer energy your way. For the next four weeks people will be thinking with their hearts not just their minds, about compassion more than just the facts, and in terms of safety – not just stabilization. This makes everything a whole lot more palatable for you and you’re liable to feel like you can accomplish what you’ve set out to do more than you have since midsummer. Look for echoes of something you were going through about 2 weeks ago to repeat their confrontation. If you weren’t ready to resolve the situation then, by now you’re completely prepared.
LEO: You’re feeling the mystery. Your Sun ruler contacts Pluto right before moving into Scorpio, the sign that planet rules. Scorpio energy is magnetic, much like your own, but while you attract the pretty things, Scorpio attracts the shadows and all the things we keep buried in our backyard. Look for these themes to represent themselves in your world in the next few weeks. Exploring the darker side can put an important spin on your current projects, very possibly just the thing they’ve been needing in order to get to the next stage. The more you can move with this energy, the more you’ll be ready to make a fresh start in the right place during next week’s New Moon in Scorpio.
VIRGO: The Sun moves into Scorpio this week, bringing the shadows up for all of us. You’ve come to a stronger position in your life where you’re better able to handle the dark and the downs. Think about where you stretched past your limits at the beginning of the month. You’re going through a similar situation this week and you’ll be passing with flying colors. It’s all about being self-assured and right now you’re nothing but. Acknowledge this in yourself and you’ll come up with a thousand ways to use your creativity during next week’s New Moon.
LIBRA: The Sun leaving your sign for Scorpio slows down the action and helps you balance your time. Look at where you’ve been testing your boundaries since the beginning of the month and how that strategy’s been working out for you. Something happens this week that helps you see whether you’re learning to get past the wall or just banging your head against it. There’s a good chance you’re being sentimental for something to the point that it’s blocking you from getting to where you really need to be. It’s all about making the choice to move on.
SCORPIO: Happy Birthday! The Sun entering your sign this week marks the beginning of a brand new chapter. Your year ahead will be full of extra energy and plenty of conversation: look to be a lot more sociable than you’re used to in the coming months. Scorpio is one of the best listeners of the Zodiac but this year you might be expected to give your own side of the story more often than you’d like. Watch for being caught off guard by a very forward question this week, and remember it’s ok to be creative with your answer.
SAGITTARIUS: Resolution. Blatant clues to whatever you’ve been trying to figure out show their faces in one way or another this week. Accept what gets discovered and don’t give yourself too hard of a time for not having seen it before. You’re in the process of making a major change and this is always a two steps forward, one step back kind of dance. Look for a chance to prove yourself in ways you weren’t able to even two weeks ago. You’ve reached a new level of expression and diplomacy. As much as you feel like it’s taking way too long to get to the place you need to be, the more you look the more you’ll see it’s all happening in its own time. Stay with your intentions.
CAPRICORN: Capricorn gets a lot from feeling needed, and these days you’re needed all over the place. The Sun leaves challenging Libra for Scorpio, a friendly Water sign. Remember why you’re doing what you’re doing and keep it up - but be careful of getting on the savior trip. A repeat confrontation between communicative Mercury and Jupiter in your sign gives you another opportunity to prove that you can fit the shoes you’re wearing. If the work you’re doing for others is coming from a sincere place the next few weeks will push your progress forward by leaps and bounds.
AQUARIUS: You’re thinking about all the things you could absolutely be doing better. And you’ve got the distinct feeling everybody else is thinking the same thing. Shadows and gossip are getting in the way of your perfect community. You’re starting to see the dark underbelly of a certain situation but remember – you can only get what you’re looking for if you understand the good and the bad about yourself and whoever else is involved. Next week brings things back to normal, when Neptune returns to forward motion at the height of your sign, having been Retrograde since late May.
PISCES: We’re all in this together. The Sun’s move into a fellow Water sign makes you more able to find compassion from the people all around you. You’re feeling much more capable and less like a victim of circumstance. But something you swept under the rug a few weeks back could be popping up to haunt you all over again at the end of the week. Try to remember exactly what was said and how the facts have changed since then, and use that information to explain yourself to someone who’s thinking you mislead them on purpose.
ARIES: You’ve been dealing too much with other people’s problems and not giving yourself enough attention. But the Sun moves out of Libra, your opposite sign midweek and Mercury is soon to follow, bringing an end to most of the drama. The next chapter is all about taking a step back and staying put in a place where you can solidify your intentions about the people you love and trust for sure.

Horoscopes for October 13 - 19 2008
ARIES: This week brings the annual Full Moon in your sign – a once a year event that might just jump the weirdness to a whole new level. The Full Moon spotlight will show you very clearly where you absolutely need to take a step forward. Aries always dreams large, but lately your fantasies are getting a little too big for even your britches. The solution is to act on something rather than just sitting back and whiling away. This is the week something shows you for sure that you’re the one person who can best push yourself forward. But you’re absolutely not alone: Venus moves into Sagittarius, a fellow Fire Sign this weekend, bringing you much bigger doses of the love.
TAURUS: Your Venus ruler leaves Scorpio, your opposite sign, and moves on to philosophical, thoughtful and well traveled Sagittarius. Do your best to be around people and take advantage of the things she’s trying to show you out in the world. You’ve learned a lot about accepting other’s differences since late September. This is your week to put those lessons into use. The difference between what you want to see and what is actually out there is about to give your own situation a very elevated meaning. You’re able to show everybody else what you really want to show, and have compassion for the things you want to see that go missing.
GEMINI: Your Mercury Ruler turns direct on Tuesday, bringing back energy, clearer thinking and you own forward motion. The last three weeks have shown you something about doing what you’ve gotta do, and you’ve learned to accept your responsibilities in a way that’s about to become a lot more characteristic. Venus moves into Sagittarius, your opposite sign, this weekend, bringing you even more chances to prove what you’ve processed about duty to the people all around you. Show them what you’ve got and they’ll get to know (and respect) this brand new side of you.
CANCER: Ambition is in the air. The Full Moon in Aries has us thinking about what we can start and when we can make it happen. You’re not at all above keeping up with the Jones’s, and this energy has you worrying a little too much about shoulds and oughts. This is a pattern that can lead to feeling discouraged, but it doesn’t have to be that way at all. Checklist your ambitions, stick to the plan, and make plenty of time out for rest and relaxing at home. The Sun moves into Scorpio, a fellow Water sign next week, bringing you an extra dose of support for what you’re trying to accomplish.
LEO: The Full Moon in Aries, a fellow Fire sign, brings back the warmth and the light – both things that represent your basic essence. Mercury’s return to forward motion the very next day is all about giving us the chance to use the thoughts we’ve been collecting. Now is the time to get started on projects you’ve been letting escape you. Venus moving into Sagittarius, also a Fire sign, over the weekend brings much nicer vibes in the love and creative departments, and you’ll be feeling better about your place in this crazy world. Neptune turning direct in your opposite sign of Aquarius next week will amplify the creativity to an even louder level. Now is the time to get started.
VIRGO: The Full Moon plays opening act to Mercury’s return to forward motion this Wednesday. Look closely to see how your ruling planet’s Retrograde has been affecting you for the past three weeks. Have you filled a void from your past you thought was irreplaceable? Have you rediscovered ideas or projects and started working them out in a new way? Now is the time to go with the new ways of thinking that have surfaced in the past month. You’re experiencing some adjustments in your social or romantic life. Remember that the only person you can control is you and nobody else’s flakiness will be able to throw you off course.
LIBRA: This week’s Full Moon is all about how you’re fitting in. It’s a good time to think about how and where you’re letting other people’s opinions of you affect your behavior. Are you spending too much energy trying to be liked? This could be making you afraid of exposing your differences. Mercury returning to forward motion in your sign could be bringing on the déjà vu. Take note of every situation that feels like you’ve been there before and consider what it’s trying to show you. Your Venus ruler leaves Scorpio for Sagittarius: any shadows you’ve been dealing with lately are about to make a whole lot more sense.
SCORPIO: The Full Moon in Aries sheds a light on exactly what we need to do for ourselves. This is an especially potent Full Moon for Scorpio, since Mars, the planet that rules Aries is hanging out in your sign. All that energy has the potential to become anger or aggression, but this is easily avoided if you keep moving: pushing forward and getting a million things done will help you avoid confrontation. Mercury’s return to forward motion and Venus leaving your sign for Sagittarius will help turn down the drama in your personal life. This is the week to take your mind off relationships and put it back on you.
SAGITTARIUS: What’s behind Door Number Three? You’ve been trying to find a brand new direction for a while now and this week there’s a light shining right on the option you should choose. The Full Moon in a fellow Fire sign and Mercury turning Direct both help you to find the right footing. You’re about to cross new frontiers that expand on all you’ve achieved in the past. Venus moving into your sign for the next four weeks is the best news of all. Venus brings a bigger dose of love and grace to your everyday, take any chance you find to use these gifts.
CAPRICORN: The Full Moon in Aries brings everything to a climax, and Mercury returning to forward motion the next day brings the everyday back to normal again. Aries and Libra are both Cardinal signs, like Capricorn, and Cardinal signs are all about leadership and setting our very best example. You’re demanding recognition, but make sure it’s for the things you’ve actually accomplished and not just for things you only value in the moment. There’s definitely a place where you’re the one in charge, make this the week you recognize that.
AQUARIUS: You’re in the middle of a process that’s all about learning what you can do for yourself that helps you be more to the people all around you. This is the perfect week to get out in the world and prove what you’ve mastered so far. The Full Moon in Aries shines bright on what you’ve accomplished, right before Mercury returns to forward motion. By the end of the week you’ll have confirmation that you’re on the right road. Venus moving into Sagittarius brings more opportunities in the social and the love departments. Ways you feel you don’t fit in are about to make you the life of the party.
PISCES: The Full Moon right before Mercury turns direct is bringing strange vibes to everybody around you and that could be bringing out the angst in the pants. If people seem self-centered try to remember the reasons they’re acting this way: chances are they’re mostly concerned with getting their own mess cleaned up so they can get back to a new sense of normal. This is a good idea for you too, no matter how much you’re used to letting the details escape you. Venus leaves Scorpio your fellow Water sign for challenging Sagittarius – watch for small irritations that lead you to avoiding the very people who have the most to teach you.
TAURUS: Your Venus ruler leaves Scorpio, your opposite sign, and moves on to philosophical, thoughtful and well traveled Sagittarius. Do your best to be around people and take advantage of the things she’s trying to show you out in the world. You’ve learned a lot about accepting other’s differences since late September.

Horoscopes for October 6 - 12 2008
**If you know your Rising Sign - read for that as well! **
ARIES: There’s something you’ve been meaning to say, but you’re not sure how to say it. This Mercury Retrograde is all about teaching you how and whom to confront when the time is right. If you’re avoiding a particular confrontation, there’s a good chance that same facedown will come back to haunt you from the outside in. Put your thoughts together, in writing or pictures or however best you can and then take those conclusions to the people who most need to hear what you have to say. If you don’t express it now, someone else is liable to say it for you. Next week’s Full Moon in your sign points the spotlight directly on you – do the things you’d like to be remembered for.
TAURUS: This week could bring out of the blue opportunities – but only if you’re looking for them. Venus, the planet that rules you, is making moves toward the planets that represent Foundation (Saturn) and the unexpected (Uranus), creating the kind of energy that’s ripe for stepping up in a way that will surprise even you. Make sure you’re seeing more than just the things you want to see in order to take advantage of this.
Taurus has a habit of being overly idealistic and wanting things to be just so, exactly aligned with their standards. This week could show you just how and where that keeps you from getting to where you really need to be. Trust the other side.
GEMINI: Right now you’re feeling productive as well as creative and the more you’ve been taking advantage of this energy, the more likely you’re about to get the chance to show off your work and get some more exposure. But this reward does have its conditions. Your success brings recognition but not necessarily stability. That’s just fine with you but this week could bring an unexpected problem in a place you’ve been acting less than responsible. Think of it as a learning experience. It’s all about keeping loose ends tied up so you can be free to pursue the things that really matter.
CANCER: Cornered. You’re being forced to make a choice you’ve been doing your best to avoid. It’s important to confirm your big vision beforehand: where you are now, and where you’d like to end up. Map out your pros and cons as soon as you can and you’ll be well prepared when the options present themselves. If you have Happy Endings in mind, it’s important to remember that these are going to turn out for you no matter how much the path you’re presented with this week seems completely foreign and untrustworthy.
LEO: If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results, you’re headed straight toward the loony bin. Whatever’s holding you back needs to be approached in a completely different way and this is the week you’re able to find a creative solution to make it right. You’re getting a big dose of challenge in your love world or your creative world or maybe even both. Next week’s energy is completely on your side. Pour your heart into new ways of expression and you’ll soon be finding the pot of gold at the end of the tunnel.
VIRGO: These days are all about finding your own footing and learning how to lead the pack. You’re going farther and stretching deeper. While Virgo energy is usually reserved, you’re feeling good about taking some new steps in a relationship or a creative project, and anybody else involved can easily see your confidence. Take note of what’s going on now, as it’s liable to repeat itself. Any discomfort you’re experiencing as a result of your actions will lead to big rewards next week when your Mercury ruler returns to forward motion.
LIBRA: You’re pushing your limits, and with your Venus ruler up to all sorts of action this week, chances are those limits are mostly about the love stuff. As much as you’ve been looking for someone who defies all your expectations, you’ve also been expecting this person to come in a very specific package. There’s something way deeper about a certain individual than you’ve ever noticed before. Watch for unusual experiences and daydreams, and don’t be afraid to take things a step further in a way you usually wouldn’t even consider.
SCORPIO: Mars joins Venus in your sign giving you an extra dose of energy and the gumption you’ve been looking for. Use this to get things done while you’ve got the time, by next week you’re sure to be absolutely surrounded by people. Adjustments in your personal life have you thinking about taking a certain relationship to the next level. Make sure you’re seeing the situation with realistic eyes. You’re feeling more open hearted than ever but this could be leaving you vulnerable. Choosing foundation over your characteristic passion is the better choice this week.
SAGITTARIUS: Don’t be too attached to your to-do list. Everyday frustrations could be on overdrive this week keeping you from fulfilling your obligations on time or getting everything done you’ve been meaning to. Keep some options open for the next few days because you’ll need the extra time to get stuff done but remember - this is a good week to let the shoulds and oughts be, and go with exciting or unusual opportunities. Sagittarius loves nothing more than stepping away from the routine every now and again and in fact needs to go there as much as possible or suffer a sickness of spirit.
CAPRICORN: We all feel guilt sporadically in our lives, but Capricorn has a higher than average capacity to let themselves feel badly when something goes wrong or their visions don’t happen exactly as planned. Saturn is the planet that rules you, and Saturn is all about the weight of the world. Something that happens this week makes you feel like you’ve been going way too far, and it’s important to look at that situation in the most objective way you can, as it’s not going away anytime soon. Venus the grace makes a nod to your Saturn ruler, giving you the ability to handle the problem with love before any misunderstanding leads to catastrophe.
AQUARIUS: Looking in all the wrong places. You’re not seeing something that’s directly in front of you, something that wants very badly to love you back. This is a good week to think about how you might be protecting yourself so much you’re not letting anyone else in, or how you’ve got your head in the clouds so high you’re missing opportunities all around you. There will be plenty of chances to demonstrate the things you figure out, but right now is all about understanding your priorities, and classifying them in a way that will help you work them out one by one.
PISCES: Something you’ve been looking forward to happens in a completely unexpected way. Look for the ways these new developments open doors you’d previously never considered. This is a week it’s hard to keep secrets – be sure you’re being honest with everybody concerned, and this includes not leaving the hard stuff out. The more up front you can be the more you’ll be able to discern the real truths behind any difficult situations. Next week Mercury returns to forward motion, making everything easier to understand for us all.
